Current Status and Progress in Laparoscopic Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

In surgical practice, laparoscopic techniques have revolutionized procedures across various disciplines. From gastrointestinal to gynecological surgeries, the adoption of laparoscopy has significantly impacted patient outcomes and recovery times. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, or bariatric surgery have become standard procedures, demonstrating the widespread acceptance and efficacy of minimally invasive surgery.

We are excited to announce a Special Issue dedicated to exploring the current status and advancements in laparoscopic surgery across diverse surgical specialties. This issue aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the broad applications of laparoscopy, showcasing its effectiveness and evolving role in modern surgical practice. Authors are invited to share their research findings, clinical experiences, and insights into the utilization of laparoscopic techniques in their respective fields.

We welcome contributions that highlight not only the successes but also the challenges encountered in the implementation of laparoscopic surgery. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, we aim to further enhance the understanding and utilization of laparoscopic techniques across surgical disciplines.
